Hi there! I am going to upgrade a store that is in ver 4.9.3 sp1 to 4.10.1 and so on. I am using the options and option combinations and I haven’t use Variations yet. What is the best way to upgrade as smoothly as possible to the new Variations during upgrades without messing up the products?
Always upgrade on a dev site first. Please feel free to PM us if you need any CS-Cart site upgrade help.

CS-Cart contains built-in feature to convert option combinations to variations during upgrade. But sometimes it does not work correctly. So the advice above is correct. Make a test upgrade on the copy at first

I made a dev copy and as i see , it agives a link to convert option combinations to variations. I have 1060 products with option combinations and 4050 option combinations. When i hit start the conversion it starts loadind a bar and after a while it dissapears. I think that the problem is maybe timeout or memory limit…
Does anyone had a similar problem?
In my logs , i have this error:
Column ‘feature_code’ cannot be null (1048)
Query: INSERT INTO cscartproductfeatures (featurecode, purpose, status, featurestyle, filterstyle, featuretype, companyid, position, categoriespath) VALUES (NULL, ‘groupvariationcatalog_item’, ‘A’, ‘dropdown’, ‘checkbox’, ‘S’, 1, NULL, 195)
I can’t understand where is the field with the ''Null" so that i can edit it.
It is required to examine issue directly on your server
I found out that some option combinations had no name. I don’t know why. That’s what was stopping the converter. Now i have to find all the option combinations that have no name and change them.
Thanks!

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend running the conversion process in version 4.11.5, just before version 4.12.1, as most of the bugs related to this process were fixed in that version.
